Original Painting
Kae Sasaki
What It Seems (2015)
Oil and resin on silver-leafed panel 16"X16" 
 
Portrait of a young subject and wisteria flowers are painted between layers of poured resin creating the sense of depth and casting shadows. The top resin layer is made to physically crack from where patterns in white paint spreads from her gaze. The work is painted in the recess of ebony stained wooden panel to allow the resin pour. Red seal that reads Kae and the year 2015 are at bottom-right corner.
